Cheers for the link. Will definitely read later. It is an 'open secret' that Liston had ties to the mob. It has been suggested that he took a dive in the second Ali fight, and possibly the first. Certainly, the second fight has always felt dodgy to me but we'll never know for sure. It could simply have been a case of a brilliant young fighter having too much for a fierce but flat-footed champion.
Honestly never heard of this at all. Gonna do some reading though, fascinating stuff. One of you said about a lot of them being owned by the mob. Think in my mind that was a Pulp Fiction thing, not a real life thing. Life is a lot more fun when you're that naive
(Not touching that post above)
As for Amir Khan, the prick, that was the beer talking. Still always a fun watch though.
And if I may add on to this, so many people (some) jumped on this with, "He doesn't help himself" or something along those lines. Whilst I don't disagree, here we are all loving Tyson Fury's antics (some), despite all his hateful, sexist remarks. I just wonder what would make someone judge a white sportsman so differently to a non-white sportsman?
